Finally an honest RUclips who admits to their treatments. I’m in my 50’s and Botox and filler are the only remedies that truly work for wrinkles and fat loss. I do recommend only going to a plastic surgeon no med spas.
Oh Erin, you read my mind. I just took a photo and my crows feet are so prominent (I'm a little older than you). Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so gracefully transparent. I'm scared to talk to anyone about this stuff because I don't want friends or family to talk me out of it or judge me. Your content is like listening to a friend. Thank you lovely Erin :)
I hope your family and friends would be supportive of you. If not, I am. Do what makes you happy 💞 I am considering filler under for the shadows under my eyes. If my friends or family don't support it, it sounds like a personal problem 😅
My husband kept talking me out of botox for my 11s. I finally said bugger him and did it and have never looked back. My only regret was I didn't do it earlier. So if its something you want then do it. No one else will even know if you don't tell them.
I'm sure you look beautiful, lines and all, they're natural and we all have them. But I'm all for treatments if they can help us feel a little better in our own skin. No judgement here :) Crows feet are somewhat easy to treat as well so don't feel discouraged if it's something that interests you! xx
Thank you for your honesty and transparency lovely Erin. I have been doing botox for about 20 years now. I started around 35. I also use fillers in the cheeks and lips. I am 51 and trying to push facelift as far as possible.
It definitely helped with my jaw clenching and almost self-corrected the problem. I swear since having my treatments a few years ago my muscles have grown back a little bit but still aren't as strong as they used to be so I no longer grind my teeth. Just be careful in your later 30's because that's when you might notice the jowling, it just sort of appears one day out of the blue lol Of course it all depends on face shape too, you might not have any issues at all! xx
This was so useful for me! I haven't had any treatments yet and the main reason is fear. I'm 58 years old and appreciate you being so detailed with each procedure regarding pain, time, cost, and results. I always trust your opinion because you are open minded and transparent. Thank you Erin 😘❤️
you got a new subscriber here because of your transparency - thank you for the honesty, it's refreshing, and you're obviously beautiful inside and out!
I have a super high pain tolerance - things like the Halo laser really don’t bother me. I had prp injected under my eyes and when I tell you I literally almost shot out of my chair from the spice level - WOWZA. It looked beautiful and definitely brightened things up, but I don’t think I will continue to do it based on the results vs the discomfort. PRP with micro-needling, however - I will continue forever. It made such a lovely difference. I really credit Dysport and Estriol cream with changing my skin in the most noticeable ways. Love your videos, Erin - so informative, intentional and well-researched! ❤
I just had a discussion with one of my doctors about PRP under the eye and he basically talked me out of it lol said the results weren't worth it in the long run. I didn't realize it was so painful! xx
Thank you so much for this honest video! I really appreciate your transparency exoecially given the fact you review makeup and skincare which might look quite different on a face without treatments. I am 49 years old and I never had any treatments nor do I want to, but I am a follower of your channel and I will be even more given your transparency. Your reviews are still very useful and with this information you allow me to give them the right perspective. Thank you and well done
You’re young. I had no lines or concerns even at 50 to 60 except for the 11s. Just came across your channel and I will follow. Love to learn how a smart younger woman does it :)
Hello Erin. I’ve watched your videos from way way back. I think I discovered your channel or the first video I’ve seen was your Madhatter makeup. I’ve always thought you’re very beautiful both inside and out. I’m 52 and have Asian skin that tends to appear younger. But like you, I have the same skin concerns and I’m greatly considering getting these treatments. I’m glad you are doing more research on these and sharing your experiences too. 💜
you're so well spoken and for a non-medical person I'd say you know enough you could give your own consultation as if you were the provider! love your videos as always
I love your honesty! This video was super helpful. I have been wanting to do Lazer treatment after already doing Botox before and I think your first hand experience makes expectations realistic. Thank you for being open about your treatments when most people aren't ❤
Thank u so so much for sharing❤ I'm 22 now and being a teenager in a time when people wouldn't speak about this stuff was really really hard. I'm so glad to be part of your comunity now ❤
Enjoy your 20's skin! Sunscreen daily will make the biggest difference for you. It's my only regret in life, you don't think it will ever matter until it hits you all at once years later. The earlier you start taking care of your skin, you will be soooo thankful in the future! I'm so happy people are talking more about treatments too, the technology keeps getting better and better xx
AMAZING video Erin!!!! This is why we trust you, you have integrity and honest recommendations ❤️ I am a former sun worshipper too 😅 and I swear by IPL and microneedling with exosomes (stem cells) I do six treatments a year of each. Sculptra is expensive but so worth it, I notice a huge difference in the density of my skin after the third treatment. You look so beautiful and I appreciate your honest feedback on treatments you have had
Thank you! I've heard so much buzz around exosomes lately, really amazing science! I've heard it can take more than one treatment for the Sculptra to really appreciate the difference so I think I'll have it done again in the future! xx
This just popped up on my RUclips and I’ve been dwelling on getting something done but fear has kept me from it. Still not sure at 58 years old if I will do anything. I really needed to hear this right now so thank you so much for all this information!
Erin, thank you for the informative video. I learned a lot about the different procedures. I’ve done Botox for the crows feet and I think it’s a choice for each person and not to be judged. I do everything I can to prolong the aging process whether it’s the LED face & neck masks, NuFACE, Botox (I’m not interested in filler or face lift). There’s a lot of treatments out there just have to pick what’s right for you. I appreciate your honesty Erin and I think you always look beautiful in your videos! 😊❤️
I completely agree and now there are so many great options to choose from. I also love my LED masks and topicals. As long as you feel good when you look in the mirror and you feel confident, that's all we can ask for! xx
So interesting. I love this topic and I think being candid is really important. I started with Dysport, but it is too weak. Now I get Botox and I am extremely pleased. I have also had filler in my temples because I am thin and my face can hollow out and look older.🎉
Just curious if your injector talked to you about Sculptra at all for your temples. I know just a little about it but I just always assumed it’s what I would get as my temples get more hallow
I feel like I've built up a tolerance to Dysport over time. The Daxxify has lasted a full 5 months so I may make the switch. I'm glad you found the one that works best for you! xx
Celebrate you for all the lovely inclusive messaging! Respect you for putting this type of content, which can be met with a lot of negativity. Thank you for the information and sharing your experience!
Super interesting. In the UK it's probably the same but I had crystal clear which I was disappointed with, but the electronic deep tissue facial programme I had was truly impressive. I haven't had the injectables yet and don't necessarily intend to purely due to cost, but I am always happy to spend on good quality lotions and potions (mainly peptides, collagen etc) and good quality skin supporting supplements. Skin care is many things to make people and I'm all for people making the best of themselves 💗
Oh absolutely, skin is so important! There are so many amazing topicals out there too that can give you results equivalent to lasers anyway. As long as you feel happy and confident when you look in the mirror, that's what matters xx
Loved the video, Erin! I've been getting Xeomin for about five years, which is another Botox alternative. I've gotten lip filler once and undereye filler once and loved the results for my formerly hollow undereyes. I've had microneedling, IPL, and BBL (no, not that kind lol) it stands for broad band light and is similar to the IPL. I've also had peri oral fractional co2 laser for some pretty deep acne scars around my chin, and it did an amazing job. I would like to eventually do my whole face because it takes care of so many issues and is a pretty deep resurfacing but the recovery is a bit brutal. Oh, and I've had 3 VI peels. For me, the most impactful have been Xeomin, the co2 laser, the VI peel, and the undereye filler 🙂 Edit to say: for reference I'm 39 years old and I started getting these treatments in my mid 30's. Like Erin I look completely natural but refreshed.
I love hearing about your treatments, thank you for sharing! I've seen people doing CO2 just under the eyes and I think I'd like to try that at some point for the fine lines. What did you think of the BBL? xx
@@ErinNicoleTV I'm always happy to share my experiences with people. Whenever people complement how good I look for my age or how surprised they are by it I always tell them I get Botox (most people don't know Xeomin) and that I've had various laser treatments etc. I don't ever want people to feel bad about themselves if they've had no intervention or to have unrealistic expectations about aging. As far as the BBL I wasn't overly impressed but to be fair I didn't have a lot of hyperpigmentation and the one spot on my forehead which bothered me the most it didn't get rid of. My dermatologist suggested that at some point we spot treat it with a more powerful laser.
Thanks for honesty I start age 43 abd love just forehead and feel amazing a lot people think I'm 35 but I'm 45 but also greem smoothie and a lot workouts makes us look healthy and younger
Thank you Erin ! Your honesty ! I tried Botox and I wish I had done so earlier ! You are beautiful inside and out and it really comes through on your videos.
Hi Erin, I have done two times botox in my forehead, and frown line. I liked it, it was ok, the result was good. The frown line was no longer visible. I have a smal one. Microneedling I have done also two times. The first one was very painfull, The second not so mutch, less than The first one. But The result was as well not so overwhelming as I Expected. My be I had to do some more. Your results are very beautifull. I would not have thought that you are doing so mutch beauty treatments. It looks over all very natural and beautyfull. These treatments can Look mask-like , if they are overdone. I like beauty treatments but they are very expensive and you need someone who can do them well. Many greatings from Germany.
I go to a very bice spa in Orlando. They recommended LaseMD laser and clear and brilliant for my dark spots. I researched both and realized clear and brilliant will not do anything. I was very hopeful for Lase MD and after 3 treatments it left me disappointed. The results were minimal. I’m considering peels next .
I'm 36 and still haven't done anything. I feel like in my countr is not as super usual as in the USA...? But I'm happy how you showed and explained everything! Thanks to your video I'm going to start searching for info to treat (professionally) my main concern with which I have been dealing sinces my 20's: acne + acne scars. Thanks Erin!
You might have luck with topicals since that's your only concern. I've been using Twyneo, a tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide cream and while it is very drying at first, I have not had a single bad blemish and it's really helped improve my skin. A prescription strength retinol or tretinoin may clear your face completely! :) xx
I personally think the Sculptra has made a huge impact on your skin. Very subtle but noticeable. You might not notice it because it takes time to see the full results, so day to day you might not see it, but the results are there.
Well said about everyone’s right and choice to age gracefully whatever that means to the individual. Thank you for sharing your honest opinions on the different procedures you have had.
Thanks for all the information, Erin! I have been thinking about IPL; I'll have to look into it You look amazing, I thought you were about 27!! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Hi dear Erin, thanks so much for sharing!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩54 here, not anything in my face yet, i'm a bit afraid of needles and stuff, but i would never judge who does, why would i do that, everybody's own choice. I maybe want to do at some time something about starting smile lines, i thought botox would help, but that is filler? I'm afraid of filler the most i think. And when i cannot see very good anymore because my eyes are too hooded, maybe a surgery. My dear mother in law had this over 15 years ago, or longer ago, not sure, in hospital, and it was a succes, Erin! And i also see people who look surprised the rest of their lifes, in my huble opinion than, its their lives. So, i do not know yet, my eyes are starting to be a bit more hooded, its the start now. Neck, like you said maybe, but, again, afraid of needles and stuff. We have less sun here in The Netherlands but still sun, of course! So i avoid it, always shadow and SPF for me. However, i have hyperpigmentation of course. In the 80's/early 90's nobody knew yet the danger of the sun. Erin it was almost a contest who in the school turned back from holiday in Southern Europe most tan, it is so idiot when i think back, it's long ago. And born in 1970. In the 70's also nobody payed attention to this, well, almost nobody. With the knowledge we have now about the sun, we do! And i never skip my skincare, i only use Chantecaille or Barbara Sturm, because of my sensitive skin and because its good. About this video, i say never never, especially these smile lines that come more and more, i dislike, but i dont know what is safe. Interesting video, full with info, and you're so pure and honest always, thanks for you being you!!!❤
I definitely relate to the sun! It's my biggest regret in life, worshipping the sun without a care in the world. Great skincare can make a huge difference as well, treatments aren't the only way to improve our skin. At least if you have smile lines, it means you've smiled a lot in life and what a blessing that truly is :) xx
No, you need at least 2 - 3 session of IPL if there's significant hyperpigmentation. It's because if you're having IPL the 1st time, strenght of laser should be less. I have IPL done on my face twice a year ( after the summer and before spring/summer) for past 10 years. I'm 53 year old and I have flawless complexion and NO wrinkles, no even small wrinkles around my eyes . IPL does destroy the 'bad/ damaged' cells but leaves out healthy ones. It also stimulates collagen within cell ( stimulation within cell from inside). I would recommend to everybody to START with IPL and after 1 -2 years to proceed with Botox or filler.
Thank you for your honesty and for sharing. I use Botox only because I’ve been afraid to try other things. I also love my Botox. But now after your video I want to try all of them, and thank you for sharing your thoughts on what you think you could have done differently. Please keep these coming. And you are gorgeous.
You look great, Erin! If I wasn’t such a chicken, I would try some of those things also at 65 years old. For all of the sun exposure I had over my life which was a lot living near the beach. I haven’t had anything done and if I have to say so I don’t look all that bad, I am interested in the procedure you spoke of where they take your own blood and inject it and the under the eye thing sounds interesting. I really don’t have any crows feet, although I do have the 11 lines and some of the marionette lines. I am allergic to various things such as shellfish and some different medication so I am always hesitant to think about injecting anything into my face or body. Your video was very interesting. Thanks for being so open about everything.
Thank you for your honest review of all these beauty procedures, I was thinking about some after I got CO2 mask they suggested to me and I loved the result, gonna repeat it
Yessssssss one IPL is amazing. They originally sold me a three pack, which I did one month apart, and the first treatment was amazing and had great results, but the other two did almost nothing. So now I get IPL once a year in the fall and it’s perfect for me. Great for brown spots. I saw full results in ten days. Ask for numbing cream first. I only do IPL on my face. I also live in Florida and I’m 41.
Ooh interesting! I would love to try IPL on my face next time to even out the skin tone. I've started looking into BBL for my chest damage as well, it's supposed to go deeper than IPL so that may be something I try this fall. I'm really trying to get to the maintenance phase as soon as possible! xx
Hi Erin, thank you for great video !!! I really appreciate you sharing your experience !!! Regarding IPL, I have mixed feelings. About 5 years ago, a cosmetologist recommended this procedure to me because I had freckles on my nose. I agreed, even though my freckles never really bothered me. After the first procedure, all the freckles disappeared, and my skin tone indeed became more even. Unfortunately, after this single procedure, I developed bad pigmentation. I live in Miami, and although I don't sunbathe my face and regularly use sunscreen and wear hats, the tan still appears. But now, instead of an even tan on my face, it appears in patches and spots. So now I have to undergo this procedure at least once a year... In my personal case, I believe this procedure was unnecessary and caused me more problems than benefits.
@@alenkabernard5819 and freckles on the nose are so beautiful too! The more I read and hear about IPL, I think I may try BBL Moxi instead or maybe a series of peels. I’m still really happy with my results but it sounds like my condition was much worse than yours so I have a lot of work to do until I can get to more of a maintenance phase. You may have luck with topicals if it’s minimal? Xx
I would like to say that before using hardware procedures , it is important to clearly understand what problem we want to solve and to research as much information as possible about the particular procedure. It seems to me that dermatologists themselves do not always know all the strengths and weaknesses of a given procedure. And I want to thank you once again for sharing your experience; it is truly valuable! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your transparency and informative video Erin 💞 I get Botox for my migraines and Dysport for my masseter. I do like the slimmer effect it gives to my round face and chubby cheeks and my jaw pain
@@ErinNicoleTV Yes!! I'm so happy I've done it. It's absolutely worth it. I learned so much from your video. I love the community here as everyone is so supportive 💞
Look up Alice Hart-Davis from the tweakment guide who did the MRI on fillers 👍🏽… I have Botox in my masseters for chronic TMJ and here in the UK consultants warn about some people developing antibodies to Botox over time, which leads to it be less affective 🤷🏽♀️
That’s an honest discussion. Do what makes you happy. I just don’t want to mess with my face. I’m wondering how you will approach aging if you have had this all done by 37.
Thank you for sharing, I feel biased bc I remember hearing so many bad things about the ingredient years ago so it makes me apprehensive. I really loved Azala, will definitely be back! xx
I did a whole course of PRP treatments and then continued a few more times fo few years. Honestly, the result of having a fresh face lasts for a week, and then everything goes back to how it was before. I kept doing it, hoping that I was doing something good for my skin. And I want to believe that this is the case :) but honestly, I regret the money spent because, as I said, the effect is very short even after the full course. Maybe if it was a cheaper …but for that price i feel it’s not worth it.
Yes, they will tell you about the cumulative effect… and I want to believe that this effect has somehow accumulated for me)) Overall, I probably had around 13 procedures… and I honestly spent a lot of money, but the visual effect is always the same since the first time - a refreshed face for about a week, and then everything goes back to how it was before...I have similar issues with a lot of wrinkles around my eyes when I smile since 28-29 and for beginning I had high hope what PRP will help with that…but nope, not at all. Then I just did Botox.
I have a large red spot with freckles in my decolette area. If I use foundation on it, there is still a difference in tone between my face, neck, and chest skin. So, I stopped using foundation. I only use a pressed powder (Lancome, Dual Finish). No primer. The dry powder applied with the natural hair brush does not emphasize wrinkles. I am not hiding my skin imperfections but rather tone them down. I spend money on healthy food and quality skincare. I am 53, and those my age know everything about lack of estrogen in your system and the effect it makes on the skin and the rest of your body. I am just trying to be the best version of myself instead of chasing youth and looking like somebody else.
Thanks for sharing, your skin looks terrific. Have you ever considered polynucleotides? They seem to be replacing fillers a little, especially under eye area.
You might want to read more about sculptura. A plastic surgeon commented about how sculptura can cause issues with a face lift later on. If I remember correctly, it was because of scarring.
I didn't really go into the details in this video but I did share more about my Sculptra experience when I originally had it done. The injections now are much more diluted than they used to be so you don't end up with any nodules beneath the skin that can cause issues with a facelift down the road. Honestly, I'm not sure I'll ever do a facelift anyways sine it can be around $50k lol I might just stick with collagen and hope for the best! xx
Thank you for sharing!! I’ve only ever done microneedling w PRP and I love it! Highly recommend!! The girl I go to actually lets you add on a take home PRP to use throughout that first day/night. Def rec finding a place that has that! 🫶🏽
I've heard it's extremely painful which scares me! It's something to think about before getting more filler. I think the trend will be less filler in the future for this very reason! xx
I Actually noticed the change in your jawline and I though now it looks more feminine, so great decision to botox the masseter. You are more beautiful. I even thought that you had your chin shaved but if that is all botox, brilliant result. You look stunning.
You should rethink your doze of botox (just an opinion based on my personal experience). I am approaching 40. I have been doing botox since 35, but I always negotiate the doze with the doctors. They really try to inject the maximum and it is not necessary to take the full doze they suggest, unless you really want to have your face stagnant and numb. I want my face to be alive.
Micro needling is the biggest lie of the beauty industry. I did Morpheus 8. First, the effect is minimal and lasts maybe 3 months. What they advertise is a bs. It is a trauma for skin that creates microscars on the deep levels. The generation of collagen is overrated and it's not the type of collagen you need. Brief, I am not a specialist in this field, but I have done a lot of research about why it does not work and I recommend everyone to do the same before considering microneeddling or "lazer baking".
The absolute best way to get rid of hypertension and melasma are topical treatments. I’ve successfully got rid of my melasma on my cheek bones in about five months. Products that I’ve used are: vitamin C serum, Azelaic acid 15%, Retinol/Retinal Acid serum and Niacinamide serum. I’m also going to start using some kind of melanin inhibitor, e.g. Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid or Tranexamic Acid. A good channel here on YT is Dr Amir Karam! Thanks for a great video! 💕
Thank you such an informative video. Had filler in lips and oh boy it was so painful but the results were great. IPL x 3 txs. Took care of my splotches and rosacea on my face, I wish I would have done it sooner.
Thank you! That's exactly how I felt after my IPL, why didn't I do this sooner? It really made a difference after one treatment so I'm excited to go back xx
I’m an RN and work in aesthetics. I highly encourage anyone that’s getting these procedures done especially lasers that you ask who is doing the procedure and their background. I just quit at a med spa bc the owner allows aestheticians to preform the laser treatments. Any stay far away from filler! I can also assure you that just because someone has MD behind their name doesn’t mean they’re a “master injector”. Clear and brilliant isn’t the best. You need so many treatments. It’s kinda garbage. Go for something stronger that you only have one treatment for. It usually costs the same as a series but more effective. You also need to do this 1-2 per year or else it just comes back. Sculptra isn’t a filler. And you need 1 vials per decade of age. It’s 100x better than filller. You haven’t had enough… And your injector should’ve started with 2 vials. 1 does absolutely nothing.
@@ErinNicoleTVBBL is good for redness, rosacea, and can help broken capillaries. If you’re prone to Melasma it’s a big no! If not look into Halo with BBL. That’s a great ablative and non ablative laser. Microneedling with RF gives minimal results too. We used Morpheus. Results aren’t worth the cost. Lasers and chemical peels. The VI Peel is fantastic!
I can’t believe your derm didn’t do IPL right from the start! When you were telling your story I just kept thinking, IPL! Anyway, instead of doing several treatments for my textured, blah skin I’m going to go for the CO2 in the winter. I used to do an IPL at the end of every summer… I’m so happy with lip injection…I look at older pictures and see just how small my lips were and am happy with the results. What I would not do an again is under the eye filler. It just didn’t work well enough for me. Also, at first it left a little ‘shelf’ (can’t think of a better description, but just a noticeable little point.) looking at Jennifer Aniston now she has it and Kylie Jenner had it too. Tell tale sign…
I've seen amazing results with CO2, eventually I'd like to do the skin around my eyes like the crows feet area. I'm excited for another IPL as well, it worked so well for my skin! I'm sorry to hear about your under eye filler experience, I've heard a lot of similar stories. It's too unpredictable xx
I am prone to melasma and have had IPL which made my skin look amazing BUT it seemed to trigger more melasma development so care is needed for darker skin tones.
Thank you so much for your great videos💜! You put so much work and smart thoughts in it🌷 ! I don`t know anybody who tried out beauty treatments (or who is so honest to talk about it ;), so I have nobody to share my experience and knowledge with. As I am very curious about new treatments, but want to invest my money wisely, I am very thankful for your field report and will try out the microneedling & PRP💜 Greetings from Germany to Miami 💕 PS: By now I get botox once till twice a year. I tried out microneedling (5 times, every 3rd week). I made the exact same experience than you (my skin is also quite good / OK, therefore I saw no real difference in the long term). I also tried out jet peel twice, where I saw better result. I came to the conclusion, that "aggressive" treamtens (fillers) make you look better / different immediately, but that dermatologist treatments might be healthier and look more natural in the long term use. A dermatologist told me: It`s equal to sport - You need to do treamtens regulary to keep the skin tight.
I love hearing other people's experiences so thank you for sharing! I agree about investing money wisely in treatments that give the best results. The more we know, the better decisions we can make :) xx
You courageous lady! Putting yourself out there with so many keyboard warrior freaks just looking to bring someone down! You are a steel magnolia and I love it! I’m 63 and have had the tweaks. When someone asks what cream do you use? I answer no cream like Botox hahaha ❤️
I would love to know your doctor for the lip filler if you’re willing. I am scared to do it because it can migrate from your lips. Cher has that where you can see it past her lip line and it’s disturbing. I hate the lip filler look when it is clear a person has had their lips done. In your case I wouldn’t know they were done at all. Also, how often do you refill them?
Thank you so very much for the info. I had Microneedling and RF with hydrolinic acid for 2 treatments and you don't get the soreness the 3rd treatment was minus the hydrolinic acid and boy did I know it after. By the way u hear that VBeam is a good under eye treatment what are your thoughts on this? Great video❤
I haven't heard about VBeam beneath the eye, I'll have to look into it! I've seen really impressive before/afters with CO2 beneath the eye for the fine lines and PRF injections for dark circles. xx
I think fillers are always noticable. Ok, someone meets you for the first time and can't notice any thing but that is because you don't know eachother. What about family, close relatives and people that watch you for years? What about you, when you look to a photo of yours? How do you deal with major diffeences? Because you have. You're so naturally pretty and, honestly, watching some of your photos on this video, it's quite a Change and yeah, people on general, mainly is USA, are overloaded with botox, fillers and so on and, still, think that is quite "natural". If you say that aging is natural, is fine, etc, why botox at 31? Fillers? It comes out so artifitial. And crazy expensive.
If you meet someone for the first time and wouldn't know they had filler, that means it's not noticeable. It has nothing to do with meeting them for the first time. There's not a treatment in existence that will stop aging altogether but there are treatments that can slow down the process so we look like the more youthful version of ourselves for as long as possible. As long as you like the way you look in the mirror and you feel most confident, that's all that matters, regardless if you have work done.
@@ErinNicoleTVI can understand your point of view but, I insist: you don't notice any diffeences on someone you don't know because there's no reference to compare. Of course that some fillers cannot br not noticeable because some people don't know when to stop, although they end up looking so much worse. In your case, I think you look wonderful, but since I started following you, I had no doubt about your procedures but when you showed that picture, we can see it's not just a detail, no. You have a whole new face structure, your features are different but that's ok it that ia the ONLY way you look at the mirror and like what you see. I have nothing against aging well but, for me, that is not necessarily procedures. It's a state of mind where you don't try to deny, let's say, the natural changes that come with age and you don't need necessarily need to erase them. Not when you're 31 because that means that you fear aging.
Unfortunately I have always been over injected with Botox and it makes me look angry. Of the 8 or so times I have done it, I look angry and it’s not fun. One time it was soooo bad I couldn’t make any change with my forehead when I was crying bc I looked like joker!! I think I will always stick to the 11’s/eye winkles
Oh no! The placement is very important for this very reason. At least you know what works and doesn't work for you. If you don't like the results then it's better not to mess with it xx
![[Guide] Become More Attractive as You Age](/img/1.gif)
Finally an honest RUclips who admits to their treatments. I’m in my 50’s and Botox and filler are the only remedies that truly work for wrinkles and fat loss. I do recommend only going to a plastic surgeon no med spas.
Oh Erin, you read my mind. I just took a photo and my crows feet are so prominent (I'm a little older than you). Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so gracefully transparent. I'm scared to talk to anyone about this stuff because I don't want friends or family to talk me out of it or judge me. Your content is like listening to a friend. Thank you lovely Erin :)
I hope your family and friends would be supportive of you. If not, I am. Do what makes you happy 💞 I am considering filler under for the shadows under my eyes. If my friends or family don't support it, it sounds like a personal problem 😅
I love this community so much and I'm grateful for the support we can one another
My husband kept talking me out of botox for my 11s. I finally said bugger him and did it and have never looked back. My only regret was I didn't do it earlier. So if its something you want then do it. No one else will even know if you don't tell them.
I'm sure you look beautiful, lines and all, they're natural and we all have them. But I'm all for treatments if they can help us feel a little better in our own skin. No judgement here :) Crows feet are somewhat easy to treat as well so don't feel discouraged if it's something that interests you! xx
This is so true! Once you go ahead and do it, no one really notices but it can make us feel so much better!
I appreciate your honesty regarding this topic. You look fantastic at 37 years of age so your treatments have served you well.
Thank you! I'm a big believer in maintenance, it's much easier to do prevention and small things along the way xx
I applaud your honesty. It’s so refreshing literally and figuratively 😊
i feel like i've never listened to an influencer be so open, genuine and informative about this topic! it's so appreciated, thank you 😊😊💓💓💓
Everyone should do what they like to their own faces. Its the dishonesty that annoys me. So thankyou for being honest.
Thank you for your honesty and transparency lovely Erin. I have been doing botox for about 20 years now. I started around 35. I also use fillers in the cheeks and lips. I am 51 and trying to push facelift as far as possible.
I'm sure your skin looks amazing too! It really is a long term investment but it's worth it xx
I love Botox and dysport! I’m one of those people with severe jaw pain from TMJ and the injections are such a huge relief 🙂
It definitely helped with my jaw clenching and almost self-corrected the problem. I swear since having my treatments a few years ago my muscles have grown back a little bit but still aren't as strong as they used to be so I no longer grind my teeth. Just be careful in your later 30's because that's when you might notice the jowling, it just sort of appears one day out of the blue lol Of course it all depends on face shape too, you might not have any issues at all! xx
@@SofiaSeesBeauty They help so much! I'll be 35 in a couple months and for some reason TMJ decided to appear lol
This was so useful for me! I haven't had any treatments yet and the main reason is fear. I'm 58 years old and appreciate you being so detailed with each procedure regarding pain, time, cost, and results. I always trust your opinion because you are open minded and transparent. Thank you Erin 😘❤️
Thank you for being so open and honest. Your information was really helpful. You look wonderful.
Thank you so much! xx
you got a new subscriber here because of your transparency - thank you for the honesty, it's refreshing, and you're obviously beautiful inside and out!
I have a super high pain tolerance - things like the Halo laser really don’t bother me. I had prp injected under my eyes and when I tell you I literally almost shot out of my chair from the spice level - WOWZA. It looked beautiful and definitely brightened things up, but I don’t think I will continue to do it based on the results vs the discomfort. PRP with micro-needling, however - I will continue forever. It made such a lovely difference. I really credit Dysport and Estriol cream with changing my skin in the most noticeable ways. Love your videos, Erin - so informative, intentional and well-researched! ❤
I just had a discussion with one of my doctors about PRP under the eye and he basically talked me out of it lol said the results weren't worth it in the long run. I didn't realize it was so painful! xx
Thank you so much for this honest video! I really appreciate your transparency exoecially given the fact you review makeup and skincare which might look quite different on a face without treatments. I am 49 years old and I never had any treatments nor do I want to, but I am a follower of your channel and I will be even more given your transparency. Your reviews are still very useful and with this information you allow me to give them the right perspective. Thank you and well done
You’re young. I had no lines or concerns even at 50 to 60 except for the 11s.
Just came across your channel and I will follow. Love to learn how a smart younger woman does it :)
Hello Erin. I’ve watched your videos from way way back. I think I discovered your channel or the first video I’ve seen was your Madhatter makeup. I’ve always thought you’re very beautiful both inside and out. I’m 52 and have Asian skin that tends to appear younger. But like you, I have the same skin concerns and I’m greatly considering getting these treatments. I’m glad you are doing more research on these and sharing your experiences too. 💜
Oh wow, that's incredible! Thank you so much for sticking with me for so long :) xx
you're so well spoken and for a non-medical person I'd say you know enough you could give your own consultation as if you were the provider! love your videos as always
I love your honesty! This video was super helpful. I have been wanting to do Lazer treatment after already doing Botox before and I think your first hand experience makes expectations realistic. Thank you for being open about your treatments when most people aren't ❤
Thank u so so much for sharing❤ I'm 22 now and being a teenager in a time when people wouldn't speak about this stuff was really really hard. I'm so glad to be part of your comunity now ❤
Enjoy your 20's skin! Sunscreen daily will make the biggest difference for you. It's my only regret in life, you don't think it will ever matter until it hits you all at once years later. The earlier you start taking care of your skin, you will be soooo thankful in the future! I'm so happy people are talking more about treatments too, the technology keeps getting better and better xx
AMAZING video Erin!!!! This is why we trust you, you have integrity and honest recommendations ❤️ I am a former sun worshipper too 😅 and I swear by IPL and microneedling with exosomes (stem cells) I do six treatments a year of each. Sculptra is expensive but so worth it, I notice a huge difference in the density of my skin after the third treatment. You look so beautiful and I appreciate your honest feedback on treatments you have had
Thank you! I've heard so much buzz around exosomes lately, really amazing science! I've heard it can take more than one treatment for the Sculptra to really appreciate the difference so I think I'll have it done again in the future! xx
This just popped up on my RUclips and I’ve been dwelling on getting something done but fear has kept me from it. Still not sure at 58 years old if I will do anything. I really needed to hear this right now so thank you so much for all this information!
Love the honesty and your videos
Erin, thank you for the informative video. I learned a lot about the different procedures. I’ve done Botox for the crows feet and I think it’s a choice for each person and not to be judged. I do everything I can to prolong the aging process whether it’s the LED face & neck masks, NuFACE, Botox (I’m not interested in filler or face lift). There’s a lot of treatments out there just have to pick what’s right for you. I appreciate your honesty Erin and I think you always look beautiful in your videos! 😊❤️
I completely agree and now there are so many great options to choose from. I also love my LED masks and topicals. As long as you feel good when you look in the mirror and you feel confident, that's all we can ask for! xx
I highly appreciate your videos so Honest, knowledgeable and informative!! ❤
So interesting. I love this topic and I think being candid is really important. I started with Dysport, but it is too weak. Now I get Botox and I am extremely pleased. I have also had filler in my temples because I am thin and my face can hollow out and look older.🎉
Just curious if your injector talked to you about Sculptra at all for your temples. I know just a little about it but I just always assumed it’s what I would get as my temples get more hallow
I feel like I've built up a tolerance to Dysport over time. The Daxxify has lasted a full 5 months so I may make the switch. I'm glad you found the one that works best for you! xx
@@chigurl4667 I believe I got Voluma. It has lasted 2 years so far.
Really enjoy all this information tonight. I will look up the IPL… my cosmetic doctor does TCA peel on my neck. Works beautifully for me😊
I agree with you 100% Clear and Brillance is a waste for dark spots. I had the exact experience. Never again. Fraxel would be better probably.
Celebrate you for all the lovely inclusive messaging! Respect you for putting this type of content, which can be met with a lot of negativity. Thank you for the information and sharing your experience!
Wonderful video. So informative. The honesty is so refreshing. Thank Yoi Erin
Super interesting. In the UK it's probably the same but I had crystal clear which I was disappointed with, but the electronic deep tissue facial programme I had was truly impressive. I haven't had the injectables yet and don't necessarily intend to purely due to cost, but I am always happy to spend on good quality lotions and potions (mainly peptides, collagen etc) and good quality skin supporting supplements. Skin care is many things to make people and I'm all for people making the best of themselves 💗
Oh absolutely, skin is so important! There are so many amazing topicals out there too that can give you results equivalent to lasers anyway. As long as you feel happy and confident when you look in the mirror, that's what matters xx
All I know, you look amazing. Thanks for the transparency
Thank you so much! xx
Loved the video, Erin! I've been getting Xeomin for about five years, which is another Botox alternative. I've gotten lip filler once and undereye filler once and loved the results for my formerly hollow undereyes. I've had microneedling, IPL, and BBL (no, not that kind lol) it stands for broad band light and is similar to the IPL. I've also had peri oral fractional co2 laser for some pretty deep acne scars around my chin, and it did an amazing job. I would like to eventually do my whole face because it takes care of so many issues and is a pretty deep resurfacing but the recovery is a bit brutal. Oh, and I've had 3 VI peels. For me, the most impactful have been Xeomin, the co2 laser, the VI peel, and the undereye filler 🙂 Edit to say: for reference I'm 39 years old and I started getting these treatments in my mid 30's. Like Erin I look completely natural but refreshed.
I love hearing about your treatments, thank you for sharing! I've seen people doing CO2 just under the eyes and I think I'd like to try that at some point for the fine lines. What did you think of the BBL? xx
@@ErinNicoleTV I'm always happy to share my experiences with people. Whenever people complement how good I look for my age or how surprised they are by it I always tell them I get Botox (most people don't know Xeomin) and that I've had various laser treatments etc. I don't ever want people to feel bad about themselves if they've had no intervention or to have unrealistic expectations about aging. As far as the BBL I wasn't overly impressed but to be fair I didn't have a lot of hyperpigmentation and the one spot on my forehead which bothered me the most it didn't get rid of. My dermatologist suggested that at some point we spot treat it with a more powerful laser.
Thanks for honesty I start age 43 abd love just forehead and feel amazing a lot people think I'm 35 but I'm 45 but also greem smoothie and a lot workouts makes us look healthy and younger
So refreshing to hear this transparency… you are already gorgeous… ❤. Nothing wrong with wanting to look great at any age.👍
Thank you Erin for your honesty! Love your videos and your voice is so calm ❤ You are beautiful!
You also get those red dots from medication. My doctor said Lorazepam can cause those red spots… just FYI ❤ love this information tonight ❤
I can’t thank you enough for this video!!!!!!! I had no idea where to start! ❤You’re the best!
Thank you for the detailed beauty treatment feedback!!!❤❤❤💖💖💖
Thank you Erin ! Your honesty ! I tried Botox and I wish I had done so earlier ! You are beautiful inside and out and it really comes through on your videos.
Hi Erin, I have done two times botox in my forehead, and frown line. I liked it, it was ok, the result was good. The frown line was no longer visible. I have a smal one. Microneedling I have done also two times. The first one was very painfull, The second not so mutch, less than The first one. But The result was as well not so overwhelming as I Expected. My be I had to do some more. Your results are very beautifull. I would not have thought that you are doing so mutch beauty treatments. It looks over all very natural and beautyfull. These treatments can Look mask-like , if they are overdone. I like beauty treatments but they are very expensive and you need someone who can do them well. Many greatings from Germany.
I go to a very bice spa in Orlando. They recommended LaseMD laser and clear and brilliant for my dark spots. I researched both and realized clear and brilliant will not do anything. I was very hopeful for Lase MD and after 3 treatments it left me disappointed. The results were minimal.
I’m considering peels next .
I may try peels as well! The Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads have helped a bit too. xx
I'm 36 and still haven't done anything. I feel like in my countr is not as super usual as in the USA...? But I'm happy how you showed and explained everything! Thanks to your video I'm going to start searching for info to treat (professionally) my main concern with which I have been dealing sinces my 20's: acne + acne scars. Thanks Erin!
You might have luck with topicals since that's your only concern. I've been using Twyneo, a tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide cream and while it is very drying at first, I have not had a single bad blemish and it's really helped improve my skin. A prescription strength retinol or tretinoin may clear your face completely! :) xx
Thank you for sharing. Love your honesty.
I personally think the Sculptra has made a huge impact on your skin. Very subtle but noticeable. You might not notice it because it takes time to see the full results, so day to day you might not see it, but the results are there.
Such an honest and informative video! Thank you, Erin 💗
Well said about everyone’s right and choice to age gracefully whatever that means to the individual. Thank you for sharing your honest opinions on the different procedures you have had.
I learned a lot from this video and you look amazing!
I'm so glad and thank you! xx
Thanks for all the information, Erin! I have been thinking about IPL; I'll have to look into it You look amazing, I thought you were about 27!! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Thank you Ginny! I had a great IPL experience, excited to go back again! xx
Hi dear Erin, thanks so much for sharing!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩54 here, not anything in my face yet, i'm a bit afraid of needles and stuff, but i would never judge who does, why would i do that, everybody's own choice. I maybe want to do at some time something about starting smile lines, i thought botox would help, but that is filler? I'm afraid of filler the most i think. And when i cannot see very good anymore because my eyes are too hooded, maybe a surgery. My dear mother in law had this over 15 years ago, or longer ago, not sure, in hospital, and it was a succes, Erin! And i also see people who look surprised the rest of their lifes, in my huble opinion than, its their lives. So, i do not know yet, my eyes are starting to be a bit more hooded, its the start now. Neck, like you said maybe, but, again, afraid of needles and stuff. We have less sun here in The Netherlands but still sun, of course! So i avoid it, always shadow and SPF for me. However, i have hyperpigmentation of course. In the 80's/early 90's nobody knew yet the danger of the sun. Erin it was almost a contest who in the school turned back from holiday in Southern Europe most tan, it is so idiot when i think back, it's long ago. And born in 1970. In the 70's also nobody payed attention to this, well, almost nobody. With the knowledge we have now about the sun, we do! And i never skip my skincare, i only use Chantecaille or Barbara Sturm, because of my sensitive skin and because its good. About this video, i say never never, especially these smile lines that come more and more, i dislike, but i dont know what is safe. Interesting video, full with info, and you're so pure and honest always, thanks for you being you!!!❤
I definitely relate to the sun! It's my biggest regret in life, worshipping the sun without a care in the world. Great skincare can make a huge difference as well, treatments aren't the only way to improve our skin. At least if you have smile lines, it means you've smiled a lot in life and what a blessing that truly is :) xx
@@ErinNicoleTV yes a day without laughter is a day wasted they say here always and, true!😂❤
Thank you for the transparency!! This video was super helpful for me!!!
I'm so glad! xx
No, you need at least 2 - 3 session of IPL if there's significant hyperpigmentation. It's because if you're having IPL the 1st time, strenght of laser should be less. I have IPL done on my face twice a year ( after the summer and before spring/summer) for past 10 years. I'm 53 year old and I have flawless complexion and NO wrinkles, no even small wrinkles around my eyes . IPL does destroy the 'bad/ damaged' cells but leaves out healthy ones. It also stimulates collagen within cell ( stimulation within cell from inside). I would recommend to everybody to START with IPL and after 1 -2 years to proceed with Botox or filler.
Thank you for your honesty and for sharing. I use Botox only because I’ve been afraid to try other things. I also love my Botox. But now after your video I want to try all of them, and thank you for sharing your thoughts on what you think you could have done differently. Please keep these coming. And you are gorgeous.
Thank you! xx
You look great, Erin! If I wasn’t such a chicken, I would try some of those things also at 65 years old. For all of the sun exposure I had over my life which was a lot living near the beach. I haven’t had anything done and if I have to say so I don’t look all that bad, I am interested in the procedure you spoke of where they take your own blood and inject it and the under the eye thing sounds interesting. I really don’t have any crows feet, although I do have the 11 lines and some of the marionette lines. I am allergic to various things such as shellfish and some different medication so I am always hesitant to think about injecting anything into my face or body. Your video was very interesting. Thanks for being so open about everything.
I loved this video and your transparency!! ❤
Thank you Amber! I actually really love discussing different treatment options, what works, what doesn't work so this was fun! xx
Thank you for your honest review of all these beauty procedures, I was thinking about some after I got CO2 mask they suggested to me and I loved the result, gonna repeat it
I've heard so many great things about CO2! xx
Incredibly informative and insightful! Thanks for sharing.
Erin I am always waiting for your new videos and I am loving your contents so so much and I wish you have a blessed week ahead xx🩷🩷🩷
Yessssssss one IPL is amazing. They originally sold me a three pack, which I did one month apart, and the first treatment was amazing and had great results, but the other two did almost nothing. So now I get IPL once a year in the fall and it’s perfect for me. Great for brown spots. I saw full results in ten days. Ask for numbing cream first. I only do IPL on my face. I also live in Florida and I’m 41.
Ooh interesting! I would love to try IPL on my face next time to even out the skin tone. I've started looking into BBL for my chest damage as well, it's supposed to go deeper than IPL so that may be something I try this fall. I'm really trying to get to the maintenance phase as soon as possible! xx
Great content. Bravo, Beauty 🌸
Hi Erin, thank you for great video !!! I really appreciate you sharing your experience !!!
Regarding IPL, I have mixed feelings. About 5 years ago, a cosmetologist recommended this procedure to me because I had freckles on my nose. I agreed, even though my freckles never really bothered me. After the first procedure, all the freckles disappeared, and my skin tone indeed became more even. Unfortunately, after this single procedure, I developed bad pigmentation. I live in Miami, and although I don't sunbathe my face and regularly use sunscreen and wear hats, the tan still appears. But now, instead of an even tan on my face, it appears in patches and spots. So now I have to undergo this procedure at least once a year...
In my personal case, I believe this procedure was unnecessary and caused me more problems than benefits.
@@alenkabernard5819 and freckles on the nose are so beautiful too! The more I read and hear about IPL, I think I may try BBL Moxi instead or maybe a series of peels. I’m still really happy with my results but it sounds like my condition was much worse than yours so I have a lot of work to do until I can get to more of a maintenance phase. You may have luck with topicals if it’s minimal? Xx
I would like to say that before using hardware procedures , it is important to clearly understand what problem we want to solve and to research as much information as possible about the particular procedure. It seems to me that dermatologists themselves do not always know all the strengths and weaknesses of a given procedure. And I want to thank you once again for sharing your experience; it is truly valuable! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thank you for sharing!!! Really appreciated. ❤
Such a helpful and informative video! Thank you!
Thank you for your transparency and informative video Erin 💞 I get Botox for my migraines and Dysport for my masseter. I do like the slimmer effect it gives to my round face and chubby cheeks and my jaw pain
The reduced jaw pain is a huge benefit! xx
@@ErinNicoleTV Yes!! I'm so happy I've done it. It's absolutely worth it. I learned so much from your video. I love the community here as everyone is so supportive 💞
❤❤❤
If lip fillers spread - I don’t want it for myself 🥴🥴🥴
Thank you 🙏🏼
thank you for your transparency!!
Always! xx
Thank you for sharing, and for your honesty.
Look up Alice Hart-Davis from the tweakment guide who did the MRI on fillers 👍🏽… I have Botox in my masseters for chronic TMJ and here in the UK consultants warn about some people developing antibodies to Botox over time, which leads to it be less affective 🤷🏽♀️
That’s an honest discussion. Do what makes you happy. I just don’t want to mess with my face. I’m wondering how you will approach aging if you have had this all done by 37.
You’re really beautiful Erin, love your advice and transparency:)
Thank you! xx
If you have melasma, IPL can give rebound hyperpigmentation. Looks good at first and then gets worse
That's great to know! xx
HQ is not toxic! We actually consume it through food, tea etc. AZALA IS HAND DOWN THE BEST MED SPA in FL!
Thank you for sharing, I feel biased bc I remember hearing so many bad things about the ingredient years ago so it makes me apprehensive. I really loved Azala, will definitely be back! xx
I did a whole course of PRP treatments and then continued a few more times fo few years. Honestly, the result of having a fresh face lasts for a week, and then everything goes back to how it was before. I kept doing it, hoping that I was doing something good for my skin. And I want to believe that this is the case :) but honestly, I regret the money spent because, as I said, the effect is very short even after the full course. Maybe if it was a cheaper …but for that price i feel it’s not worth it.
@@alenkabernard5819 that’s so good to know! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, they will tell you about the cumulative effect… and I want to believe that this effect has somehow accumulated for me)) Overall, I probably had around 13 procedures… and I honestly spent a lot of money, but the visual effect is always the same since the first time - a refreshed face for about a week, and then everything goes back to how it was before...I have similar issues with a lot of wrinkles around my eyes when I smile since 28-29 and for beginning I had high hope what PRP will help with that…but nope, not at all. Then I just did Botox.
@@alenkabernard5819 me too Zero results from 3 PRP sessions around eyes. Did the botox help with the crow's feet?
I have a large red spot with freckles in my decolette area. If I use foundation on it, there is still a difference in tone between my face, neck, and chest skin. So, I stopped using foundation. I only use a pressed powder (Lancome, Dual Finish). No primer. The dry powder applied with the natural hair brush does not emphasize wrinkles. I am not hiding my skin imperfections but rather tone them down. I spend money on healthy food and quality skincare. I am 53, and those my age know everything about lack of estrogen in your system and the effect it makes on the skin and the rest of your body. I am just trying to be the best version of myself instead of chasing youth and looking like somebody else.
Very interesting and thanks for sharing. It's your life. Do what you want with it....
Thanks for sharing, your skin looks terrific. Have you ever considered polynucleotides? They seem to be replacing fillers a little, especially under eye area.
I haven't heard of it yet, I will do some research! Thank you! xx
You might want to read more about sculptura. A plastic surgeon commented about how sculptura can cause issues with a face lift later on. If I remember correctly, it was because of scarring.
I didn't really go into the details in this video but I did share more about my Sculptra experience when I originally had it done. The injections now are much more diluted than they used to be so you don't end up with any nodules beneath the skin that can cause issues with a facelift down the road. Honestly, I'm not sure I'll ever do a facelift anyways sine it can be around $50k lol I might just stick with collagen and hope for the best! xx
Thank you for sharing!! I’ve only ever done microneedling w PRP and I love it! Highly recommend!! The girl I go to actually lets you add on a take home PRP to use throughout that first day/night. Def rec finding a place that has that! 🫶🏽
Filler Dissolving was one of the most painful things I have ever endured. I actually cried
I've heard it's extremely painful which scares me! It's something to think about before getting more filler. I think the trend will be less filler in the future for this very reason! xx
I Actually noticed the change in your jawline and I though now it looks more feminine, so great decision to botox the masseter. You are more beautiful. I even thought that you had your chin shaved but if that is all botox, brilliant result. You look stunning.
Thank you! Yes, it's amazing the difference it can make with the jaw muscles! xx
You should rethink your doze of botox (just an opinion based on my personal experience).
I am approaching 40. I have been doing botox since 35, but I always negotiate the doze with the doctors. They really try to inject the maximum and it is not necessary to take the full doze they suggest, unless you really want to have your face stagnant and numb. I want my face to be alive.
Micro needling is the biggest lie of the beauty industry. I did Morpheus 8. First, the effect is minimal and lasts maybe 3 months. What they advertise is a bs. It is a trauma for skin that creates microscars on the deep levels. The generation of collagen is overrated and it's not the type of collagen you need. Brief, I am not a specialist in this field, but I have done a lot of research about why it does not work and I recommend everyone to do the same before considering microneeddling or "lazer baking".
The absolute best way to get rid of hypertension and melasma are topical treatments.
I’ve successfully got rid of my melasma on my cheek bones in about five months. Products that I’ve used are: vitamin C serum, Azelaic acid 15%, Retinol/Retinal Acid serum and Niacinamide serum. I’m also going to start using some kind of melanin inhibitor, e.g. Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid or Tranexamic Acid. A good channel here on YT is Dr Amir Karam! Thanks for a great video! 💕
Amazing advice, thank you for sharing! xx
Thank you such an informative video. Had filler in lips and oh boy it was so painful but the results were great. IPL x 3 txs. Took care of my splotches and rosacea on my face, I wish I would have done it sooner.
Thank you! That's exactly how I felt after my IPL, why didn't I do this sooner? It really made a difference after one treatment so I'm excited to go back xx
I’m an RN and work in aesthetics. I highly encourage anyone that’s getting these procedures done especially lasers that you ask who is doing the procedure and their background. I just quit at a med spa bc the owner allows aestheticians to preform the laser treatments.
Any stay far away from filler! I can also assure you that just because someone has MD behind their name doesn’t mean they’re a “master injector”.
Clear and brilliant isn’t the best. You need so many treatments. It’s kinda garbage. Go for something stronger that you only have one treatment for. It usually costs the same as a series but more effective. You also need to do this 1-2 per year or else it just comes back.
Sculptra isn’t a filler. And you need 1 vials per decade of age. It’s 100x better than filller. You haven’t had enough… And your injector should’ve started with 2 vials. 1 does absolutely nothing.
What are your thoughts on BBL vs IPL? The more I read, I'm tempted try that one instead of another IPL.
@@ErinNicoleTVBBL is good for redness, rosacea, and can help broken capillaries. If you’re prone to Melasma it’s a big no! If not look into Halo with BBL. That’s a great ablative and non ablative laser.
Microneedling with RF gives minimal results too. We used Morpheus. Results aren’t worth the cost.
Lasers and chemical peels. The VI Peel is fantastic!
Great video much needed info❤
loved ur honest review
I can’t believe your derm didn’t do IPL right from the start! When you were telling your story I just kept thinking, IPL! Anyway, instead of doing several treatments for my textured, blah skin I’m going to go for the CO2 in the winter. I used to do an IPL at the end of every summer…
I’m so happy with lip injection…I look at older pictures and see just how small my lips were and am happy with the results. What I would not do an again is under the eye filler. It just didn’t work well enough for me. Also, at first it left a little ‘shelf’ (can’t think of a better description, but just a noticeable little point.) looking at Jennifer Aniston now she has it and Kylie Jenner had it too. Tell tale sign…
I've seen amazing results with CO2, eventually I'd like to do the skin around my eyes like the crows feet area. I'm excited for another IPL as well, it worked so well for my skin! I'm sorry to hear about your under eye filler experience, I've heard a lot of similar stories. It's too unpredictable xx
I love your honesty and I think you are beautiful whether or not you do treatments 🩷😘
I am prone to melasma and have had IPL which made my skin look amazing BUT it seemed to trigger more melasma development so care is needed for darker skin tones.
That's great to note, thank you! xx
Thank you so much for your great videos💜! You put so much work and smart thoughts in it🌷 ! I don`t know anybody who tried out beauty treatments (or who is so honest to talk about it ;), so I have nobody to share my experience and knowledge with.
As I am very curious about new treatments, but want to invest my money wisely, I am very thankful for your field report and will try out the microneedling & PRP💜 Greetings from Germany to Miami 💕
PS: By now I get botox once till twice a year. I tried out microneedling (5 times, every 3rd week). I made the exact same experience than you (my skin is also quite good / OK, therefore I saw no real difference in the long term). I also tried out jet peel twice, where I saw better result.
I came to the conclusion, that "aggressive" treamtens (fillers) make you look better / different immediately, but that dermatologist treatments might be healthier and look more natural in the long term use. A dermatologist told me: It`s equal to sport - You need to do treamtens regulary to keep the skin tight.
I love hearing other people's experiences so thank you for sharing! I agree about investing money wisely in treatments that give the best results. The more we know, the better decisions we can make :) xx
Thank you for this video❤
You courageous lady! Putting yourself out there with so many keyboard warrior freaks just looking to bring someone down! You are a steel magnolia and I love it! I’m 63 and have had the tweaks. When someone asks what cream do you use? I answer no cream like Botox hahaha ❤️
Haha, thank you! It's true, I love my lotions and potions but nothing has slowed down the lines like Botox! xx
I would love to know your doctor for the lip filler if you’re willing. I am scared to do it because it can migrate from your lips. Cher has that where you can see it past her lip line and it’s disturbing. I hate the lip filler look when it is clear a person has had their lips done. In your case I wouldn’t know they were done at all. Also, how often do you refill them?
You need IPL photo facial for your neck. It’s for the brown and red spots
Thank you so very much for the info. I had Microneedling and RF with hydrolinic acid for 2 treatments and you don't get the soreness the 3rd treatment was minus the hydrolinic acid and boy did I know it after. By the way u hear that VBeam is a good under eye treatment what are your thoughts on this? Great video❤
I haven't heard about VBeam beneath the eye, I'll have to look into it! I've seen really impressive before/afters with CO2 beneath the eye for the fine lines and PRF injections for dark circles. xx
Botox and Dysport are brand names, the active substance in them is the same - botulinum toxin.
Thank you so much!
What microneedling radiofrequency device did you use? I just had a consult today and it was recommended. Thx
It was the Candela Matrix Pro xx
I think fillers are always noticable. Ok, someone meets you for the first time and can't notice any thing but that is because you don't know eachother. What about family, close relatives and people that watch you for years? What about you, when you look to a photo of yours? How do you deal with major diffeences? Because you have. You're so naturally pretty and, honestly, watching some of your photos on this video, it's quite a Change and yeah, people on general, mainly is USA, are overloaded with botox, fillers and so on and, still, think that is quite "natural". If you say that aging is natural, is fine, etc, why botox at 31? Fillers? It comes out so artifitial. And crazy expensive.
If you meet someone for the first time and wouldn't know they had filler, that means it's not noticeable. It has nothing to do with meeting them for the first time. There's not a treatment in existence that will stop aging altogether but there are treatments that can slow down the process so we look like the more youthful version of ourselves for as long as possible. As long as you like the way you look in the mirror and you feel most confident, that's all that matters, regardless if you have work done.
@@ErinNicoleTVI can understand your point of view but, I insist: you don't notice any diffeences on someone you don't know because there's no reference to compare. Of course that some fillers cannot br not noticeable because some people don't know when to stop, although they end up looking so much worse. In your case, I think you look wonderful, but since I started following you, I had no doubt about your procedures but when you showed that picture, we can see it's not just a detail, no. You have a whole new face structure, your features are different but that's ok it that ia the ONLY way you look at the mirror and like what you see. I have nothing against aging well but, for me, that is not necessarily procedures. It's a state of mind where you don't try to deny, let's say, the natural changes that come with age and you don't need necessarily need to erase them. Not when you're 31 because that means that you fear aging.
But, as I Said, your appearance ia wonderful. Your fillers are subtle and well done, meaning, you don't look like Mickey Rourke or Madonna, please.
ur so pretty and lovely
Unfortunately I have always been over injected with Botox and it makes me look angry. Of the 8 or so times I have done it, I look angry and it’s not fun. One time it was soooo bad I couldn’t make any change with my forehead when I was crying bc I looked like joker!! I think I will always stick to the 11’s/eye winkles
Oh no! The placement is very important for this very reason. At least you know what works and doesn't work for you. If you don't like the results then it's better not to mess with it xx
